Pallet Return Device - Pick Module Configuration

The Pallet Return Device (PRD) is a pallet handling solution or pallet return solution that many operations could benefit from, particularly distribution centers. This particular pallet return system works to increase the safety of your area by reducing the risks of handling pallets with a lifting method that reduces strain on the lower back. The unit also reduces the risks of falling pallets because the movement to the end of the rack units is controlled as opposed to gravity fed.

The PRD mounts to pallet flow rails that are designed in pick modules made of pallet racking. Since the PRD makes a perfect stack of pallets every time, it saves labor costs as pickers no longer have to struggle to make a perfect stack, and forklift drivers now avoid reshaping pallet stacks when ready to be removed from the modules.

The PRD system requires no outside source of energy (electricity or compressed air) and requires minimal continual maintenance. This unique system has the ability to be retrofitted into nearly any current or future set-up in a work center and can handle wood and plastic pallets simultaneously

Main Features

A pallet carriage tilts backward that makes loading less strenuous.

Designed to straighten each pallet that is loaded.

Handles wood and plastic pallets simultaneously.

Incorporates a shock absorbing device that safely tilts the carriage when unloading.

Easy to operate hand and foot releases.

Raised receiving end that lifts the pallets from the carriage so that the carriage can be removed and reset.

Set of springs that pulls the load over the center of mass when unloading.

End stops keep the pallets in line and visible for the forklift drivers.

UHMW wear pads prevent metal on metal contact of moving parts.

A recessed, bilingual safety label that explains the proper method of use.

No Energy Required

Pays for Itself

PRD stand alone floor configuration can be mounted in any facility with a flat surface so the benefits experienced in a pick module can also be experienced in all other areas of a facility. Anywhere that pallets are stacked, the PRD stand alone floor model should be there to assist!
